App writes the book on iPhone-based e-book readers
Look, there is simply no way e-books will ever replace traditional books, printed on paper and bound in cloth. There is something more durable about a real book. Sure, you can burn them, pulp them, and rip them to little pieces. Time and nature yellow and molder pages. Ink fades. But print is substantial in a way that pixels are not.
I?ve been very happy with this app. It is visually appealing, with an easy-to-read and very user-friendly interface. The selection is small but of high quality, and the developer continues to add books. My favorite extra touches are the sound of flipping pages and the bookmark which slides into place when you leave the book. You will enjoy this!
Wonderful
This application, while limited to 20-odd books, is indeed one of the nicest looking iPhone book readers. The page flip animation is smooth, the text is easy to read, and the selection of books is excellent. I picked it up at $.99 a while ago, but it is still worth it at this price. This app is a good motivational tool to reread some of those classic works of literature.
Best Reader Out There
I love this app. It is beautifully designed and includes wonderful books. The selection is great, and the text is just the right size. The best reader I've even seen.
Great App!
I'm so looking forward to rereading some of the classics. This app is so easy to use and easy on the eyes. The animation is fantastic. The selection is somewhat small, but for the price, I can't complain.
Really nice app.
A somewhat limited collection of content, but you can't argue with the picks. They're all classics. But the key with this app is just that it's gorgeous. By limiting the focus to very specific classics, the developers have been able to make sure that every page looks its best.
Great classics reader.
This is a beautifully designed and implemented classic literature reader. The fonts are easy on the eyes and I love the page turn animations - they make it feel a lot more like reading a book. The catalog is somewhat small and finite, but the company has done a good job introducing new books with updates. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
